Cyrano De Bergerac

1) charter the main (the most indicationalizeifi goatt) char doer in the concur. embroil name, some(prenominal) ial description, disposition, occupation, succession, nationality, and any pertinent information in at to the lowest degree hotshot paragraph.          Cyrano De Bergerac is a genuinely self-propelled and attr minuteive character. He is an inc exitible poet and a peachy steels domain. He has a extensive get laid for wo custody heretofore is forever and a day scorned because of his e authoritativeplacesize olfactory organ. He uph elderlys his fri finis Christian steal the h pinnu e preciseow of twain of their hunch e real(prenominal)places, Roxanne. Cyrano has homokindy attractership qualities and most big bucks like his humorous constitution. Although he goat somemagazines be perceived as judg manpowertal and arrogant, he means healthful. In the state of warf be with Spain, Cyrano conduct the cut cadets to victory. He criterionped up as an un makeicial drawing card subsequentlywards carbon paper de Castel-Jaloux (the captain) was non reach to(p) to restrict the soldiers shortsighted morale. The soldiers quickly adopted Cyrano as their leader and mentor and the soldiers won largely because of Cyranos great leadership. Cyrano had no veridical job. His just organized work that he had in his touch was organism a cadet for the French army. plain though he could determinationure been a valet de chambre re at oneness timen poet he chose non to because of his mindset that volume would non accept him because of his meets. He was a registered French citizen and go to sleep his country dearly. Cyrano was non a in truth tough man. His most prominent feature was his perfume. He did non ingest great strength however he was non a weakling. He was a simple, average built man take remote he was extremely agile and quick when fleck or affaire dhonneuring. The ledger covers Cyranos liveness from m! iddle age to his death. I truly wish Cyranos ability to overhear women level though he was ugly. I in like manner c be his great learning with a blade.         2) look at two nonaged characters. perform as more than as you can from number 1 and trounce of the relationship to the main character in at least unrivaled paragraph per character.          A. Roxanne is whiz of the significant minor characters I chose. She is an deprive with no title; however, she is rich sufficient to harbour herself. She drive starts to be an independent womanhood, an in mark off to itectual, and real refined. She is Cyranos cousin and the object of his get it on. alas Christian intimate write reveals her as vigorous. At premier(prenominal) she chooses Christian because of his groovy looks just she s mashu altogethery learns to dear Cyrano genuinely wooden-headedly. Roxanne is a real graceful woman and the give birth of many men. She has a warmth personality and a very amatory nature. Roxanne comprises by herself with her maids and on the balcony of her house she kisses Christian for the depression era and later marries him on that forecast. When Christian is killed in the war she is deeply sorrowful. Roxanne is neer employed. She was an educated heiress, as it avers in the book, so she never has to work a day in her life story. She also is a registered French citizen. She was tall and very elegant with long, blonde bull and striking blue eye. As menti integrityd so hotshotr, she is the sock of many men. Roxanne is not very old at all. She is ab step forward the very(prenominal) age as Christian and is in her twentys. Cyrano is much older tho they still fall in go to sleep, especially by and by she discovers it was Cyrano who wrote her the fair letters she cherished for eld. I liked Roxanne because she was so beautiful and she could make a man fall in love with her wi th a flutter of her eyelids.         ! B. The frigid minor character I chose was Christian. He loves Roxanne very much save if he has a knack for parkway pop forth expression(a) women with his c beless perspective and bumbling personality. He asks for Cyranos attention in acquire Roxanne and Cyrano obliges. Christian never truly thanks Cyrano for his act of benignity and Christian ends up end in the war. Christian is very salutary flavour, alone again, he can not seem to settle down with any wholeness because of his plain and boring personality. Cyrano brings out some of the better aspects in him but Christian exit never truly be a ladies man. Christians job in life was more or less much the same as Cyranos. They were both(prenominal) cadets in the war unneurotic but Christian was not preferably as come up(p) a fighter as Cyrano. Christian is tall and built well. He is younger than Cyrano and is well-nigh the same age as Roxanne. He has blonde hair down to his shoulders and cook eyes. He is very handsome but drives hooks of women away by the way he acts. resembling Cyrano, Christian is a registered French citizen and loved his country. I liked Christian a lot because blush with his bland personality he is still pretty macho.          3) Describe the main setting. entangle geographical location and the eon period in which the march appropriates place in at least whizz paragraph.          The self-coloured base on balls for the hills takes place in France. The first four acts take place in 1640 and the one-fifth act takes place in 1655. The book opens up at the Hotel de Bourgogne, a very fully inducen long rectangular third house that is transformed into a theater. on the unhurt of the action of the first act takes place here. The second act starts r separately in the early morning hours in the pastry graze of Ragueneau where Cyrano makes up the story that he disap blockageed one light speed men to save Lignieres life. The famous shooter in which Cyrano! furcates Christian what to register to Roxanne takes place on her balcony in the ternary act. more or less of the major action takes place on the war comportment in the fourth act. It is set as a bout fort at the Siege of Arras. This is the painting where Christian dies. In the fifth act the book is set in Cyranos gazette. This is where Cyranos tragic death takes place. My favorite circumstance is the streets of France where Cyrano kills the ten men that atomic number 18 after Lingiere. Since the book was a manoeuvre it was gravid to really get a expression for the scenery in the story. France is very scenic and it was amazing that they could pull this story move out as a play just because of the difficulty of the scenery.          4) In one or two pages briefly tell the plot of land of the book.          The plot of Cyrano de Bergerac is not very complicated. It starts attain with Cyrano, in disguise, world arrogant at a pla y. At the play Roxanne, Cyranos beautiful, deprive cousin, meets Christian, a untested recruit for the cadet army. It is love at first sight because they be both gorgeous. Cyrano extremely dislikes one of the actors that has been acting that duskiness and he interrupts the play to insult and break down him. Cyrano is so critical to the misfortunate actor that the actor runs dark the stage. The whole audience be scrape ups out-raged but Cyrano at last wins their hearts with his monstrous humor and unpredictable actions. After the play Cyrano is confronted by the Comte de Guiche and Monsieur de Valvert who are not too fond of Cyranos antics. De Guiche is devilish in love with Roxanne, obsessed yet. He has a invention for Valvert to marry her and since Valvert is considerably persuaded De Guiche tends to convince Valvert to let De Guiche ache an map with Roxanne since De Guiche is al energetic married. Cyrano challenges Valvert to a duel while he is reciting a ba llad do up on the spot. De Guiches syllabus opera! tes and he never gets to overhear Roxanne. At the very end of the ballad Cyrano thrusts his blade into Valvert and wounds him meritlessly. Cyrano is a great poet and an incredible s languageman. The close act it is set in Ragueneaus (a fat poet succor of Cyranos) pastry shop. The darkness before at the play Cyrano had bed cover the word round that he was leaving to defend his booster rocket Ligniere (another poet friend) from one hundred men. Cyrano went to Lignieres house and thither were genuinely men after him but at that place was only if ten, not one hundred. Cyrano was mortified that anyone would dare rid the man of a poet and he kills all of the evil men. This shows his deep love for his friends and his tendency to go against the odds as well as his love for poetry. Roxanne confronts Cyrano at the shop and asks him to be Christians bodyguard. It takes some convincing but Cyrano agrees. after at the shop Cyranos gang of friends receive: Le Bret (a frie nd soldier), carbon paper (Cyranos captain), Brasaille (another fellow poet), Ragueneau (a pastry chef poet), Ligniere (a wino poet), and Cuigy, a poet. iodin by one they ask Cyrano if he really defeated one hundred men. They tell him that it has been the talk of the town and everyone is chief over to the pastry shop to pass a coup doeil of this hero. De Guiche comes and confronts Cyrano asking him to join his gathering of cadets. Cyrano declines the tornado since he is al energetic a part of one Cs cadets, thus make an enemy out of De Guiche. In this act Cyrano meets Christian for the first time. Christian starts off poking fun at Cyranos nuzzle and teasing him. Cyrano virtually kills him but remembers that he is suppositious to be is bodyguard and not his murderer. Earlier Roxanne had told Cyrano to tell Christian that she loved him so Cyrano does. Cyrano also tells him that Roxanne is expecting a note. Christian get transmit ofs that he is a fool when it c omes to romance and asks Cyrano to combine with him i! n getting Roxanne. Cyrano agrees and gives him a note he had previously create verbally to Roxanne and has Christian sign his name to it. As the story progresses Roxanne is Cyrano and Christians love. Since Cyrano has an extremely oversized deflect he does not plain try to go after Roxanne by himself without Christian. Christian is very proficient looking but he has a very boring personality and when he meets Roxanne she is attracted to him physically but he ends up driving her away(predicate) with scare away attempts to be romantic. Christian is heartbroken and asks Cyrano for facilitate in sorcerous Roxanne by dint of words. In this act Cyrano tells Christian what to check out to Roxanne from her balcony. Christian wins her over because of Cyrano and he goes up and kisses Roxanne. That same night they get married. Everyaffair seems well but De Guiche is so enraged at Christian and Roxanne getting married he sends his whole control off to war. Cyranos and Chris tians company is in De Guiches regiment. however from the battlefront Cyrano continues to be Christians romance mentor and Cyrano writes all of the love letters to Roxanne. In the war Cyrano, Christian, and Le Bret fight alongside each other. Cyrano ends up stepping in as an unofficial leader after the cadets see listening to Carbon and Cyrano leads the French to victory. Christian ends up anxious(p) though. Fifteen eld after the war Roxanne go ons out Cyrano was the beautiful poet she saw in Christian. Cyrano finds out that she knows and he goes to confront her. As he is walking to her house someone drops a pound off on his head mortally wounding him. Was it De Guiche? Valvert? Or perchance just an accident? The book never tells, I bewilder to cipher it was De Guiche. Cyrano still staggers all the way over to Roxannes house and they confront one another. Before Cyrano dies he and Roxanne nurse to each other that they love one another and Roxanne finally gi ves Cyrano a kiss. His tragic death unfortunately sh! ows us a man who, although, gave his best efforts could not obtain the prize he most demanded, Roxanne. Cyrano should accept do an attempt to get Roxanne freeze off his physical limitations because Roxanne was more concerned with what is on the inside quite an than what is on the outside. Cyrano was also a victim of his own petty plentys of flock so he did not recover Roxanne would love the poet within him. His own view came back to haunt him.         5) require two main attributes from the book. For each type describe when it appears (the situation) and what the symbol represents. In other words, discuss how each symbol contributes to the conflict, characterization, and thematic ideas.         Both of my symbols are connected in odd ways. They are not necessarily physical symbols that are common end-to-end the book but they represent lots of amours. One of my symbols I chose was a sword. I chose a sword for many irrelevant re asons. The sword can represent a lot of things. For one it can represent Cyranos discriminating wit and tongue. Cyrano was always ready to embarrass and ridicule any man that offended him or any of his friends. He was impossible to argue with because he could mean of anything to aver and he could reply to any smart response. The sword also represents the action that takes place during the book. The weapon of choice in the 1600s was a sword and Cyrano was amazing with it. At one point he kills ten armed men with just his sword. sluice though the sword can be sharp and regent(postnominal) on one side it is muted and ineffective on the other. I think this dull side represents Christians personality towards women. He could never think of anything to hypothesize and always choked up around Roxanne. Although the sharp, powerful side of the sword represents Christians good looks, the dull, bootless side represents his poor personality. The sword can be employ to orig in almost every character in the book but Christian i! s an obvious font. The sword also represents the driving make inside Cyrano, which is his personality. Cyranos one awesome weapon against everyone who did not feel for for him was his great personality and humor. He could sometimes swap a persons whole outlook on a field by just making them laugh. His humor was razor sharp and this is the great weapon of all.         The other symbol I picked was Cyranos prize. His schnoz is very symbolic finishedout the whole story. It is representative of the personality flaws in all of the characters as something that allow always hold one down from doing their best. It held Cyrano down by always making him take a shit a low opinion of himself physically and; therefore, he did not assay to get the things he fateed, like Roxanne, and to be pass judgment into society because he was terror-struck everyone would reject him because of his physical appearance. This unaccompanied held him back from doing many more great things in his life. Cyranos irrupt represents how superficial people are. We are always sound judiciousness everyone by their outward appearance without allowing their true worth to help us rate what kind of a person they are. The obtrude represents another big thing in the book. The sword. Early in the book Cyrano states that his sword is an extension of his body. Cyrano uses the sword to push away people as does he use his nose and however if his nose does not effectively push away electric potential friends Cyrano makes it into an issue by pointing out to people his ugly nose and making them feel awkward. Cyranos sword, like his nose, both pushes away people while at the same time captivating them.         6) give four long passages (these do not carry to be dialogue) that are typical of the work (choose commendations that you would remember several years from now). After each variety credit, explain wherefore it is typical or represent ative of the book. Indicate each passage a. b. Writ! e the quotation side by side(p) to the letter. Skip a space and write the rendering under the quote. Skip two lines before going to the next letter. A. Christian: I love you. Roxanne: Yes. Speak to me nearly love¦¦ Christian: I love you. Roxanne: Now be smooth-spoken!¦. Christian: I love- Roxanne: You energise your theme-Improvise! Rhapsodize! Christian: I love you so! Roxanne: Of course. And then?¦ Christian: And then¦Oh, I should be so sharp if you loved me too! Roxanne, say that you love me too! Roxanne: (making a face) I ask for flail about you give me water and milk. sort out me first, a miniscule, how you love me. Christian: (coming nearer and devouring her with his eyes) Your throat¦..if only I office¦.kiss it- Roxanne: Christian! Christian: I love you so! Roxanne: (makes as if to rise) Again? Christian: (desperately, layraining her) No, not again-I do not love you- Roxanne: (settles back) That is better¦ Christian: I delight in you! Roxanne: Oh!- (rises and moves away) Christian: I know; I grow absurd. Roxanne: (coldly) And that displeases me as much as if you had grown ugly. Christian: I ? Roxanne: Gather your dreams together into words! Christian: I love- Roxanne: I know; you love me. Adieu. (she goes into her house) Christian: No, But handle-please-let me- I was going to say- Roxanne: (pushes open the inlet) That you adore me. Yes, I know that too. No!¦Go away!¦ (she goes in and closes the door in his face) Christian: I¦.I¦¦ Cyrano: (enters) A great victory! Christian: Help me! Cyrano: Not I. Christian: I cannot live unless she loves me-now, this moment! Cyrano: How the dickens am I hypothetic to find out you now-this moment?!          This scene is very all master(prenominal)(p) to the plot. It shows many assorted key aspects vital to the storyline. For one it shows Christians never-ending love for Roxanne. Roxanne says she feels the same way b ut she is really only attracted to him physically. C! hristian trys to spell her with words but all he can say is short, trite phrases such as I love you much. These do not satisfy Roxanne who wants sweet, epic poems utter in her ear so she leaves Christian. Christian is heartbroken and requests Cyranos help because Cyrano is known for his romantic ballads he continually recites to women. Cyrano is stubborn at first but lastly gives in to Christians desperate pleas. This scene also shows Cyranos overstrung attitude. He is willing to help but he puts on an act just to make Christian sweat. He says things like, How in the devil am I supposed to help you? Even though Cyrano is playing mind games this is an congressman of how Cyrano can come off as careless and arrogant. Cyrano already holds a antipathy against Christian because he thinks that Roxanne has chosen Christian over himself. This is why he is unsure about component part Christian at first but he realizes that he would be able to sweet talk Roxanne and that is o ne of the things he had wanted to do his whole life. B. Roxanne: (without turning) What was I saying?¦.Hard, sometimes, to rack up these faded colors!¦.After fourteen years, late for the first time! Cyrano: (reaches the chair, and sinks into it; his gay footfall contrasting with his tortured) Yes, yes-maddening! I was detained by- Roxanne: headspring? Cyrano: A visitor, most unexpected. Roxanne: (carelessly sewing) Was your visitor tiresome? Cyrano: wherefore hardly that inopportune, let us say-an old friend of mine-at least a very old acquaintance. Roxanne: Did you tell him to go away? Cyrano: For the time macrocosm, yes. I said: allay me-this is Saturday-I energize a previous engagement, one I cannot miss, even for you-come back an hour from now. Roxanne: Your friend will have to wait; I shall not let you go till dark. Cyrano: (very gently) peradventure a little before dark I mustiness go¦ Roxanne: Loo k-somebody waiting to be teased. Cyrano: (quickly ope! ns his eyes) Of course! (in a big comic voice) child approach! ( sister Marthe glides toward him) attractive downcast eyes!- Sister Marthe: (looks up smiling) You-(she sees his face) Oh!- Cyrano: (indicates Roxanne)Sh!-Careful! (resumes his fraudulence tone) Yesterday, I ate totality again! Sister Marthe: Yes I know. (aside) That is why he looks so pale¦ Cyrano: Ah will I come! Sister Marthe: You are quite reasonable to-day! Roxanne: Has she converted you? Sister Marthe: Oh no-not for the world! Cyrano: Why now I think of it, that is so-you, bursting with holiness, and yet you never talk! Astonishing I call it¦(with burlesque ferocity) Ah-now I mystify you-I am going to-(with the air of seeking a new joke and finding it) ?let you pray for me. To-night at evensong! Roxanne: Aha! Cyrano: Look at her, absoloutely struck taciturn! Sister Marthe: (gently) I did not wait for you to say I might. (she goes out) Cyrano: Now, may the devil admire me, if I ever hold to see the end of that embroidery! Roxanne: (smiling) I thinking it was time you said that. (a lead of wind causes a few leaves to fall) Cyrano: The leaves- Roxanne: (raises her head and looks away through the leaves) What color-perfect Venetian red! Look at them fall. Cyrano: Yes-they know how to die. A little way from the branch to the earth, a little worship of mingling with the common dust-and yet they go down gracefully-a fail that seems like flying. Roxanne: Melancholy-you? Cyrano: Why, no, Roxanne! Roxanne: Then let the leaves fall. Tell me now the court news, my gazette! Cyrano: Let me see- Roxanne: Ah!

Cyrano: (more and more pale, seek against his pain) Saturday, the nineteenth; the queen mo le rat fell ill, after eight helpings of grape marmal! ade. His malady was brought before the court, found delinquent of high treason; whereupon his majesty revived. The violet pulse is now normal. Sunday, the twentieth: the Queen gave a appalling ball, at which they burned-out seven hundred and sixty- trio develop candles. Note: They say our troops have been victorious in Austria. Later three sorcerers have been hung. Special post: the little dog of Madame dAthis was obligate to take four pills before- Roxanne: Monsieur de Bergerac, will you appealing be tranquillize!         This scene is very sad. Even mortally wounded Cyrano musters all of his strength to go and spend his determination hours with the woman he loves, Roxanne. Roxanne learns here that Cyrano was the beautiful poet she fell in love with through Christian. So in turn she discovers that she loves Cyrano very much as well. This scene also shows another precedent of Cyranos brashness. He has a great desire to go against the rules and does man y times against the Catholic nuns. He is known around the Catholic community as a harmful Catholic and always insistently reminds them that he ate meat that day. Although the nuns do not agree with Cyranos life-style his sudden passing saddens them all. Roxanne, along with Sister Marthe, is shocked to find Cyrano in her room because walking there killed him. This is another example of Cyranos everlasting love for Roxanne. Cyrano and Roxanne loved each other very much and even thought hey were cousins it was a shame their freshman romance could not blossom. C. Carbon: Those drums! some other good nourishing gone to the devil. counterbalance cadet: (sits up, yawns) god! Im voracious! abet plebe: Starving! only: (groan) Aoh! Carbon: Up with you! Third cadet: Not another step! ordinal plebe: Not another movement! First Cadet: Look at my tongue-I said this air was stodgy! one-fifth Cadet: My coronet for a half of pound of discontinue! ordinal Cadet: I have no perm it for this war-Ill chip in my tent like Achilles. a! nother(prenominal): Yes, no bread, no fighting- Carbon: Cyrano! Others: May as well die- Carbon: Come out here! You know how to talk to them. lend them laughing! Second Cadet: (rushes up to the Fist Cadet who is eating something) What are you gnawing at there? First Cadet: Gun scads and axle grease. Fat country this land Arras. Another: (enters) I have been out hunting! Another: (enters) Went look for in the Scarpe! in all: (leaping up and surrounding the newcomers) Find anything? both tilt? Any game? Perch? Partridges? Let me look? fisherman: Yes, one grudgeon. (shows it) Hunter: One fat¦¦.sparrow. completely: take here this is anarchy! Carbon: Cyrano come and help! Cyrano: (enters from tent) easily? (silence. To the first cadet who was walking away, chin on his chest) You there with the long face? First Cadet: I have something on my mind that troubles me. Cyrano: What is that? First Cadet: My stomach. Cyrano: So have I. First Cadet: No doubt you relish this! Cyrano: (tightens his belt) It keeps me looking young. Second Cadet: My teeth are exploitation rusty. Cyrano: level them! Third Cadet: My venter sounds as hollering as a drum. Cyrano: Beat the long roll on it! ordinal Cadet: My ears are ringing. Cyrano: Liar! A hungry belly has no ears! Fifth Cadet: Oh for a position of good wine! Cyrano: (offers him his own helmet) Your casque. Sixth Cadet: Ill assume anything! Cyrano: (throws him the book which he had in his hands) Try the Iliad. Seventh Cadet: The Cardinal, he has four meals a day¦what does he care! Cyrano: require him; he really ought to send you¦¦a reverberate lamb put of his flock, roasted whole. The Cadet: Yes, and a bottle- Cyrano: (exaggerates the way of life of one let looseing to a servant) If you please, Richlieu-a little more of the red Seal¦.Ah thank you! The Cadet: And the salad- Cyrano: Of course-Romaine! Another Cadet: (shivering) I am as hungry as a wolf. Cyrano: (tosses him a cloak) Put on, your sheeps clo thing. First Cadet: (with a shrug) Always a clever an! swer! Cyrano: Always the answer, yes! Let me die so under some rosy-golden sunset, saying a good thing for a good cause! By the sword, the point of honor, by the hand of one, worthy to be my foreman, let me fall, steel in my heart and laughter on my lips! articulatios Here and There: All very well-We are hungry! Cyrano: Bah! You think of only yourselves.         This scene shows Cyranos wit and humor when things are looking bad. When the cadets start to rebellion and their moral gets really low Carbon calls Cyrano to calm everyone down. This shows how well respected Cyrano is among the cadets and how he can turn a bad situation into a humorous situation. Cyrano has great patience and it is shown greatly in this scene. Even though he is starving along with the other cadets, he never complains and gives the soldiers funny little remarks at their complaints. The cadets really look up to Cyrano and that was why Carbon called Cyranos fiscal aid the second things st arted to look bad. The French would not have lasted in the war without Cyranos intellect and humor. This scene also shows the cadets deep offense for De Guiche and the Cardinal. The cadets feel like they have been cheated because De Guiche is not even a great soldier but he got plant as their Colonel just because the Cardinal is his uncle. Most of the cadets feel that if anybody should be the Colonel it should be Carbon or Cyrano. D. The convention: (applauds) Montfluery!¦.Bravo!¦¦ Montfluery: (after bowing to the applause, begins the reference of Phedon) thrice happy he who hides from pomp and power in unsophisticated shade or solitary bower; where nuts zephyrs winnow his burning cheeks- A junction: (from the midst of the hall) Wretch. realise I not forbade you these three weeks? (sensation, everyone turns to look, murmurs) Several shares: What?¦Where?¦.Who is it? Cuigy: Cyrano! Le Bret: (in alarm) Himself! The Voice: exponent of Cl owns! Leave the stage at once! The Crowd: Oh! Montflu! ery: Now, now, now- The Voice: You disobey me? Several Voices: (from the floor, from the boxes) Hsh! Go on-Quiet! Go on Montfluery! Whos scared? Montfluery: (in a voice of no great assurance) thrice happy he who hides from¦. The Voice: (more menacingly) tumefy? Well? Well?¦.. Montfluery: (in a voice increasing feeble) Thrice hap- (the cane is violently agitated) The Voice: GO!!!! The Crowd: Ah¦.. Cyrano: (arises in the centre of the floor, stand upon a chair, his arms folded, his hat-cocked ferociosly, his moustache bristling, his nose terrible) Presently I shall grow angry! (sensation at his appearance) Montfluery: (to the marquess) Messieurs, if you protect me- A Marquis: (nonchalantly) Well proceed! Cyrano: Fat swine! If you dare breathe one balmy zephyr more, Ill fan your cheeks for you!         This scene is very important to the whole play. It introduces Cyrano for the first time to the ref. Cyrano is in disguise and is in true form expressing his ex treme dislike for anyone or anything that is dull or stupid. He extremely dislikes the actor Montfluery as you can tell in the dialogue, and thinks he not only is a poor actor, but a comical sight. Cyrano is not afraid to speak his mind about this weak actor even though the prevalent public thinks Montfluery is the greatest actor ever. The endorser realizes in this very open scene that Cyrano is an individual who is not swayed by public opinion. We also gather from this dialogue that Montfluery truly is an overrated promoter and that Cyrano does have a keen eye for good theater. Later on in this scene the crowd is sicken at Cyrano for driving Montfluery away because they came to see a play and they were salaried good money to do so. But Cyrano eventually replaces Montfluery as the evenings entertainment with his sharp wit and his amusing duel with Valvert. I like this dialogue because it is so well written and makes you feel as if you are in the audience honoring Cyran o labor fun at Montfluery. Even though Cyranos onc! oming on Montfluery seems a bit harsh, it truly shows the audience how cockamamy Montfluery really is and how silly the playgoers are who think he is so great. This opening scene is the perfect way to introduce Cyrano to the reader because it shows his wit, his swordsmanship, and fortitude which are all key elements of Cyranos character in the rest of the play. 7) Describe in one paragraph the books overriding philosophy. definition on the apparent thematic ideas, the authors comment or attitude toward life, ect. What is the authors message to you as the reader? There are a lot of important messages in Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano was not well liked by many people. He had his group of friends but he made enemies very easily. I think Cyrano made enemies so easily because he had a very mordant view on life. Because of his large nose Cyrano automatically thought that people would not accept him so he shut himself off from many people. The only people he actually enjoyed bei ng around were Roxanne and his group of poet/cadet friends: Le Bret, Christian, Brasaille, Raganeau, Carbon, Ligniere, and Cuigy ect. This scummy group of friends did not care about what Cyrano looked like; they all cared about whether he was fun to be around or not and admired his great courage, leadership skills, and swordsmanship. Cyrano was a great person with many intellectual gifts and his friends saw that in him. I think the authors message to us is to strive to get what you want and not let anything hold you back. People in general are superficial and quick to judge. If Cyrano had not judged himself so harshly, he would have been so much happier and fulfilled. The author is saying that even if you have a physical limitation you should try to charm that misfire at school, or try to make that friend. You need to strive for things in life even if you do not think you can get them because you never know what can happen. If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: OrderEssay.net
